<h4><a name="Detailed_Input">Detailed_Input</a></h4>

   frcode         is an integer code for a reference frame. 
 
   lenout         is the maximum number of characters that can be 
                  accommodated in the output string.  This count 
                  includes room for the terminating null character.
                  For example, if the maximum allowed length of the 
                  output string, including the terminating null, is 33
                  characters, then lenout should be set to 33.

   frname      is the name associated with the reference frame. 
               It will be returned left-justified. 
 
               If frcode is not recognized as the name of a 
               known reference frame, frname will be returned 
               as an empty string. 
 
               If frname is not sufficiently long to hold the 
               name, it will be truncated on the right. 
 
               All reference frame names are 32 or fewer characters 
               in length.  Thus declaring frname to be SpiceChar[33] 
               will ensure that the returned name will not be 
               truncated.

<PRE>
 
   1) If frcode is not recognized as the name of a known reference
      frame, frname will be returned as a blank. 
 
   2) If the output string pointer is null, the error SPICE(NULLPOINTER)
      is signaled.
      
   3) If the output string has length less than two characters, it 
      is too short to contain one character of output data plus a null  
      terminator, so it cannot be passed to the underlying Fortran 
      routine.  In this event, the error SPICE(STRINGTOOSHORT) is
      signaled.
      
   4) If the length of frname (indicated by lenout) is at least two
      characters but not large enough to contain the output string, 
      the output string will be truncated on the right.

   This routine retrieves the name of a reference frame associated 
   with a SPICE frame ID code. 
 
   The ID codes stored locally are scanned for a match with frcode. 
   If a match is found, the name stored locally will be returned 
   as the name for the frame. 
 
   If frcode is not a member of the list of internally stored 
   ID codes, the kernel pool will be examined to see if the 
   variable 
 
      FRAME_idcode_NAME 
 
   is present (where idcode is the decimal character equivalent 
   of frcode).  If the variable is located and it has both 
   character type and dimension 1, the string value of the 
   kernel pool variable is returned as the name of the reference 
   frame. 
 
   Note that because the local information is always examined 
   first and searches of the kernel pool are performed only 
   after exhausting local information, it is not possible to 
   override the local name for any reference frame that is 
   known by this routine.

   Suppose you needed to create a message concerning a reference 
   frame and wish to use the name of the frame in the message. 
   Suppose further that you have only the frame ID code at your 
   disposal.  You can capture the frame name using this routine 
   as shown here.

      SpiceInt                frcode;
